.270 Winchester load

[kstrick]

Has anyone worked up loads for .270 WIn for Berger 140gr hunting VLDs?
I have some loads running at 2770 average that are grouping about .5 inch at 100 yards using 47gr of RL 15.

I am waiting for my Huskmaw to show up. I want to work up a load to work way out yonder!
Thanks

I don't run the 140s but I'd try some RL22, WXR, and or some H4831sc. You should be able to get a good bit more velocity out of your 270 and keep the accuracy too. I'm running the 150s about 3000fps and there's another fella on here running them about 3200. He's got a screw or two loose, but I don't believe he'll miss this thread.

Thanks
I have some RL 22 in the cabinet. I would like to get the velocity up to the 3000-3100 fps range.
I want the find THE load and stick with it.

Previously I used 56 grains of RL-19, wasn't bad, and 55.5 grains of RL-22, recently I tried RL-17 wasn't bad I loaded 53 grains of it

Imr 4831 works well with 140 gr. Hornady sst. This bullet has the best ballistics according to hornadys calculator. It runs about 2900 fps. This is not a max load for Imr 4831.

.270 Bullets:
Ballistic Coefficient: 0.487 Berger 140 gr VLD
Ballistic Coefficient: 0.495 Hornady 140 gr SST
Ballistic Coefficient: 0.456 Nosler Ballistic tip

All are excellent bullets.

Thanks for the input.

I use 63 grains of H-1000 ahead of Fed 210 primers in Win cases

I realy like H-1000
